Regarding acronyms in XHTML... Acronyms are meant to be pronounced, yes? I was just wondering what the default behaviour was for them in screen readers, e.g. faced with:- <acronym>EARL</acronym> Would it attempt to say "earl" or "eee ay ar ell"? If it tries to pronounce it (which I believe is correct), then what happens if the acronym could have an ambiguous spelling? For example, <acronym>EARL</acronym> uses <acronym>URL</acronym>s. [Obviously all of these examples should have titles as well.] Maybe the screen reader should spell it out on request, but otherwise pronounce it... This has probably been discussed a thousand times before... -- Kindest Regards, Sean B. Palmer @prefix : <http://webns.net/roughterms/> . [ :name "Sean B.
